Hey all!

So here's a little bit about me. On May 4th, my 18th birthday of this year, I made a decision to begin my adulthood healthier. I wanted to lose weight, it was a dream I had since I was in my early teens to have a great body - to be fit and healthy above all. This is just a very, very 'summary' of my desire of a new, healthy weight loss journey.

So I succeeded in this, losing around nine kilos or twenty pounds in about two months. I still had more to lose. But then; I lost track, slipped back into my old habits, but I have still been able to maintain a 6 kilo/13 lbs loss. I now need to lose another 8 kgs/18 LBS more kilos to reach my goal weight;

I am going to Bali in January, giving me 59 days/nearly two months to get rid of the rest of this weight. I dream about this every night - having this great body besides the pool in Bali, not a care in sight. This WILL happen. It has to happen. But somehow - I have to get back on track, by re applying whatever I did that helped me succeed last time.

I am finding it very difficult to get back on track, but from this afternoon I have been completely re motivated and hopefully this'll give me the boost I need.

So yeah, that's basically my situation. Oh; I'd also really appreciate a few friends to talk to/update every so often, this would be fantastic and encourage me to keep going.

Soldier on guys!

    Hi there! Congrats on your choice to begin adulthood healthy - a very mature decision! Have added you as a friend, I am new to MFP but not to weight loss ups and downs. I have about 30kgs to lose. Hope to keep up with your progress :)
